Visually inspired by archeological remnants from the Middle East and the aesthetics of future design, installations of large-scale ceramic sculptures operate as platforms for artistic interaction between the artist and the viewer. The territory of the domestic space is used as case study, to examine the ‘habitat’ versus the ‘domicile’ and how personal, local and universal ideas fluctuate and synthesize together.72 pagesen-USThe author has granted Alfred University a limited, non-exclusive right to make this publication available to the public.
